Wedding quilt

Blood, guts and a sewing needle

I spent New Year’s Eve and Day doing two things, hand quilting and watching The Walking Dead marathon on AMC. I know, that’s kind of weird. I started watching the show at the beginning of Season 4 and have been dying (pun intended) to see the back story. So when I heard about AMC’s marathon, […]

First baby quilt of 2012

It’s looking like 2012 might be the year of the baby quilt as well. Heck maybe my entire 20s will be the decade of the baby quilt since all my friends seem to be having kids one after the other and there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight. But I love working on […]

Finding time to quilt every day

It’s fall, and that means spending more time in a classroom than at my sewing machine. I teach journalism and advise the student newspaper at my alma mater. We’re not talking going back to school after a summer off. We’re talking about working eight or nine hours at my main job at an ad agency, […]

Diaper sewing marathon – Part one

Me: “I went through 10 yards of Velcro yesterday.” Husband: “That’s a first down.” I had a cloth diaper sewing marathon over the weekend. It was all in preparation for getting as much work done as possible before quilt retreat next weekend so I can get this very essential task done well in advance of […]

700 inches of binding

I’ve been spending a lot of time on the longarm lately. Thanks to my newfound flexibility in scheduling, I’ve been able to spend one day a week at Quilting By-You in Bettendorf, Iowa, renting time on a longarm to finally finish up some quilt tops. Two weeks ago I finished quilting one of my two […]
